DescriptionN-Acetyl-L-carnosine has been studied as a measure to counteract UV-induced immunosuppression. N-acetyl-L-Carnosine (NAC) is a natural imidazole-containing dipeptide that has antioxidant activities in cells, particularly against lipid peroxidation. Formulations containing NAC may prevent or resolve cataracts when added to the eyes of animals, presumably through the conversion of NAC to another antioxidant, carnosine. NAC and related dipeptides, delivered in specific formulations, may also have protective effects for skin.
